swiss meringue

Swiss meringue is a smooth, silky, and stable type of meringue that sits between French and Italian meringue. It is made by gently heating egg whites and sugar together over a water bath before whipping them. This method dissolves the sugar completely and partially pasteurizes the egg whites, resulting in a glossy and refined foam. Swiss meringue is widely used for buttercream, toppings, and decorative piping.
